Are hardback AP's a waste?

[QUOTE="HEEGZ, post: 6559218, member: 6777735"] I much prefer hardbacks to paperbacks. For example, I really wish my 3e Lords of Darkness were a hardback I use it so often. That said, the recent release of the EE player's companion had me pining for it in print. I just don't like pdfs for reference works that I will use often. So... I would prefer a softcover option over no option. Maybe they could work out a print on demand arrangement for their pdfs or something. I am hopeful that a year or two from now they will publish some type of compendium. Something like all of the miscellaneous spells and/or races and so on from their adventures and whatever else they release all collected together and published as a print reference. This assumes enough material to justify doing it. It would be great to have a second book in a year or two that complements the PHB with all of the extra options if they keep releasing them piecemeal like they have this month. Right now I am printing out all of the pdfs, and they are stapled together in the corner. Perhaps I should just three hole punch them and put them in a binder for now... [edit] I sorta got side tracked from the OP. I will probably buy all of the 5e books, regardless of how many or what their are. So I would prefer them all to be in hardback. If they doubled the number of books and made them paperback and more of them I would still buy them and wish they were hardbacks. [/QUOTE]
